KENNEDY
"Yo leave me alone! I didn't fucking cheat on you!"
"Fuck is you yelling for? All I ask is where did you go last night"
Here we are three days after the Halloween situation and Kymani has been on my ass ever since.
Bubbi and Hezekiah are still with Mama Honey, Lucky's mom house for their cousin sleep over.
"To Lou's gas station, I wanted boiled peanuts. Fuck out my face"
Snatching me by my shirt Kymani stares into my eyes blankly.
"Chill out before I make you. All I asked was a simple question, I'm not accusing you of nothing"
"Stop talking to me"
"Drop the attitude"
"I'm about to drop you" yanking my arm away I left him in the bedroom going into the connected bathroom.
"I know you ain't say some slick shit like that to me, Kennedy. I just know you didn't" Kymani chuckles not failing to follow behind me. "Deadass? I'a kill that girl right now quit fucking playing with me Ashanti"
Woah my middle name I'm so scared
"She didn't do shit to you. Leave her out of this. This is about you not trusting me! I have been on my shit and you haven't acknowledged it once. I take my meds every damn day, control my anger, be a fucking mom to two kids, and girlfriend to you, and not once have I cracked under pressure, not including the incident with Dreka. I'm trying so hard for you and you're stuck on me holding Molly. How many times do I have to apologize Kymani? I'm fucking sorry! I just wanted to comfort her, she's always been a good friend to me I didn't want to end on bad terms"
"You love her?"
"Bro get out my house, you pissing me off"
"Now I'm bro? I got something for that ass" Laughing dryly Kymani nods grabbing his belongings and leaving out the room.
Rolling my eyes I used the bathroom before getting in bed for a nap.
***
"Kennedy! Come meet my gal!"
Groaning at the sound of Lucky's voice I sat up checking the time on my phone.
That was a bomb ass lil three hour nap
Climbing out of bed I got myself together before jogging downstairs to the living room in a baby blue skims sweatsuit.
Lucky and a slim-figured brown skin woman sat in the loveseat talking.
She's twelve kinds fine
"Wassup" I nod scratching my stomach, taking a seat across from them on the couch.
"This my girl, Kaliyah. Kali this is my best friend Kennedy. Don't let her talk you out yo draws, ima beat the both of y'all asses"
"Boy please can't nobody talk me out of nothing" Kaliyah waves him off with a chuckle turning her attention to me. "Hi it's nice to finally meet you I didn't realize how close we live by each other. I live in the brown townhouse across the street on the corner"
"I started thinking he was lying about you. Nigga never showed any pictures or showed any proof that you existed"
Kaliyah and I spent a few minutes talking while Lucky sat on his phone not showing any interest in our conversation. Kaliyah took notice and called him out on it to which he placed his phone on his lap apologizing.
"My fault baby, Kennedy sent my homeboy into a frenzy. He talking reckless"
"Fuck you and that man" rolling my eyes at the thought of Kymani I couldn't stop my eye from twitching. He's pissing me off and he isn't even here
"In all seriousness, I am proud of you Kennedy. I know you're used to acting however you feel. I saw how much you refrained from going any further than a hug with Molly. Just give him some time and he'll come around. He's been in love with you since we were kids, he's gonna get over it"
"What makes you think I want him to? I'm good on everything. I knew it was only a matter of time before things went to shit with us. All I need is my kids"
"Awe you have kids? You look so good, I would've never guessed it. How many do you have?" Kaliyah's eyes lit up as she smiled warmly "I want a few myself"
"I have a two-year-old son, Bj and I'm taking care of my nephew Hezekiah"
"Oh, that's who I met the other day? Hezekiah" she questions glancing at Lucky
"Yea" he nods picking up his phone when it dinged. "I gotta go, you want me to walk you back to your place?"
"Mm no I was thinking we could go get something to eat" Kaliyah frowns watching him get up and look for his keys. "what are you rushing for?"
"Baby I just told you my homeboy on some nut shit. I wanna make sure he doesn't crash out"
"He ain't gonna do shit" I mumble glancing at my phone that shows a message from an unknown number. "mmh"
"Be safe, text me when you make it to him. I love you"
"I love you too Baby, ima come get you later"
Sharing a kiss they said their goodbyes, rushing out the door Lucky jogs across the street to his car and takes off almost immediately.
"Aren't you going to check on your boyfriend?"
"He's not my man" shaking my head I got up stretching. "where did you want to eat at? I want wings"
"I was thinking Tuscarora Mill Restaurant but we can go to my parent's restaurant instead. They have bomb hot honey wings that come with Cajun fries and fruit of your choice. I usually get mangoes, it keeps the sweet taste from the wings and helps with the burning sensation from how hot the sauce is"
That's all I needed to hear
"Let's go" slipping on my crocs that were by the front door we left, listening to Mariah the scientist along the way.
"Do you like lashes? My Godsister does mine, I can send you her Instagram if you want. She charges seventy-five for all sets"
"What's the catch? That's the cheapest price I've heard in a long time"
"She has medical bills she needs to pay off soon so she can get surgery on her heart. She's close to her goal if I'm not mistaken. I'm just spreading the word"
"I usually do my lashes. I'm willing to donate though"
"Thank you so much! I'll send her Go Found Me to your Instagram"
